If this is for an early ball and claw axle with corse spline axles it's going to be easier to replace you whole axle. 72 would be a Birfield fine splined inner axles, 63 and 65 would have been a ball and claw.

Who is Goose???? he was Tom Cruise' navigator in Top Gun, Maverick and Goose.
John,
Yes, it is for the 45, I will not be using the front axle. I have an empty housing from a 74 I would use for the just the conversion parts, but I was looking into what an entire axle swap would be money and work wise.
Thanks for looking out for me

I'm so glad you already have the housing. Those are a pain to Mudship.

I'd like to see the finished project
Hey Rockcod. It's Iceman (hey after all I'm in Canada).
I'd like to see how you did the install. I've got my 45 running discs up front now, but with no power.
Can you post some pics?
Thanks.

Hijack but I found this thread with a search.
I got my 72 front axle apart and it has Ball and claw. Do I need to find a complete axle or can I convert for disc with a mini? everything I read for the most part says I should have Birfields but the FSM says it could have either.

'72 SHOULD NOT be ball and claw. If yours has been swapped, you need to find a newer housing that is not ball and claw, and do the conversion, or better yet, try to find a disc front end.
